Is Design Review dying in Seattle?

David Hyde, Erica Barnett, and Sandeep Kaushik Season 3 Episode 30

The city council is making plans to speed up the process for building in downtown Seattle by exempting certain buildings from design review. Erica and Sandeep agree about the merits of the proposal, while David as devil's advocate tries to insert some skepticism into their urbanist love fest.   

We also talk about the King County Council's about-face on earlier plans to close the youth jail. 

Our editor is Quinn Waller.
